XMPP with XEP 45 > discord
I think you underestimate just how difficult making a app like discord fast is. It’s quite impressive how well it works tbh
element do it, and do better, it’s just company wanting money but don’t want to spend money fixing it, that’s why it’s electron, and not other better alternative, it’s cheap and easy to develop, not fast
You must be in only tiny rooms because element absolutely dies when joining anything busy. They recently implement sliding sync to help mitigate this.
Also yeah, the discord desktop app is garbage, I’ll admit, but I’m talking about the website
Since when did people stop liking Discord? It’s still so much better than any of the chat clients that came before it. I have never had any issues with it for what I use it for.
I will never go back to the days of Skype, ventrilo, or TeamSpeak. Slow, worse ui/ux, and less feature rich from what I can remember.
Also, why would use Discord’s website?
I stopped liking discord the very first time I launched the application and saw what a piece of shit it was.
When they updated the privacy policy to start spying on voice calls.
It’s still so much better than any of the chat clients that came before it.
Doesn’t make it good
I will never go back to the days of Skype, ventrilo, or TeamSpeak.
The fact that you didn’t include IRC in this last as one of the “chat clients that came before it” makes me cry
Also, why would use Discord’s website?
Because their app is their website in a wrapper
Bro is there a fediverse alternative to discord with voice chat and msging etc pkg
